The Asian Development Bank (ADB) uses country environmental analysis (CEA) as a tool to assist with incorporation of environmental considerations into country partnership strategies (CPS), formerly referred to as country strategies and programs (CSP) and updates (CSPU), for its developing member countries (DMC). The CEA provides targeted information necessary for informed decision-making on environmental constraints, needs, and opportunities, including those that impinge upon poverty partnership agreements. The focus is on adding value to planned and ongoing development initiatives by (i) reducing environmental constraints; (ii) exploiting environment-related opportunities; and (iii) promoting actions that can lead to improved mainstreaming of environmental considerations into national economic development and planning processes.
